Bomenbuurt, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1920s apartment on Valkenboskade sits in the leafy Bomenbuurt, a neighbourhood known for its wide streets and pre-war architecture. At 81 m² it's compact but well-proportioned, with an energy label D, typical for a home of this era. The asking price of €425,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €566,076, partly because the home is smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.

One resident says: "A cosy, pleasant neighbourhood with many amenities and schools, next to a nice shopping street (Fahrenheit)." Another simply calls it "Nice, well-equipped neighbourhood." The area is densely built (over 6,500 addresses per km²) and very urban, with mostly flats and a mix of ages, 77% of homes were built before 1945. The neighbourhood Bomenbuurt has a lively, family-friendly feel.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including De Parachute and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla.

Auto-translated to English by AIIn my experience, I've lived in the neighbourhood for a long time, but it doesn't take long to get to know people. This is partly due to the Fahrenheitstraat, where you might run into neighbours and other people from the area, so you get to know them quickly. Being alone is also possible, of course; you can enjoy nature in the park near the Albert Heijn or take a walk on the Ieplaan. You can also easily walk your dog here, as there are many trees in the neighbourhood (which matches the name ;)). The neighbourhood is always taken care of, including after festivals on the Fahrenheitstraat that generate a lot of mess. However, a downside is that there is often uncollected dog poop on the pavement, but this eventually gets cleaned up (partly by other residents). The Bomenbuurt is very centrally located, so you can easily get to Scheveningen, the city centre, and several schools to choose from. The amenities are therefore virtually endless. I hope to see you soon if you also come to live in the neighbourhood; good luck!
